The Railway Division of the IMechE works in partnership with other engineering institutions as the Railway Engineers Forum (REF). The other Institutions include the Institution of Civil Engineers, Institution of Engineering and Technology, Institution of Railway Signal Engineers, Institution of Railway Operators and the Permanent Way Institution.
The aim of the REF is to harmonise the various strengths of the constituent institutions in devising and implementing their programmes of activities in support of the railway community. This will encompass such activities as conferences, seminars, lectures, training, information services, publications and statements of policy to Government and other Regulatory Body policies. The harmonisation process will aim to avoid conflict or duplication of events, to promote joint ventures whenever this is advantageous and to maximise the visibility of such activities to the widest possible audience.
